Cauliflower Hash Browns

 

Ingredients:

1 head cauliflower, riced (about 3 cups packed)

1/4 cup  almond flour

1/2 cup shredded cheese

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Oil for frying

Directions:

Prepare the Cauliflower Rice: Using a food processor or a hand grater, pulse or grate the cauliflower until it reaches a fine, rice-like consistency. Be sure that the pieces are as small as possible for the best texture

Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, almond flour, cheese, eggs, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering.

Form and Cook Hash Browns: Scoop out about 1/4 cup of the cauliflower mixture and shape into a patty approximately 3/4-inch thick. Gently place each patty in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook in batches if necessary. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Serve: Remove the hash browns from the skillet when fully cooked and set them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately while hot, or allow them to cool for freezing and future use.

Mei wanted to shop in a local produce store. I picked up just the cauliflower - it was just a dollar and I can never resist a bargain. Since I'm absolutely  HORRIBLE about frying Mei offer to help me.

These came out really good!
